Donut cheeseburger coming to Toronto

There is already a doughnut burger at The Counter in the Thompson Hotel. It isn't a Krispy Kreme, but its damn good.

Unhealthy like crazy - yes. Deep fried shit - no. Just because this looks like a heart attack doesn't mean it isn't worth a try.

it looks delicious, i'll take 3 please.

I hope the same happens to you.

Like the cops in this town aren't fat enough as it is. Can't even aim their guns straight.

that is what I say about rob every night in the bedroom.

Can i get that with a veggie burger?

"After rave reviews at the Calgary Stampede..." kinda says it all, doesn't it?

That is disgusting! Seriously... with these dumb "food" ideas people keep coming up with, I can't help but wonder if they just want everyone to become morbidly obese or something?

I should probably read the last sentence of the article before I post. Oh well. At least I didn't make some ridiculous and obvious Rob Ford joke or randomly mention potatoes.

are they using one donut or two donuts. the picture looks like they cut it in half

Luther Vandross called. He wants his burger back.

Yes, but only one of the spellings is correct...

no ones forcing any obesity down anyones throat, fat people make dumb choices like instead of having a treat once a week they indulge in non stop eating. their choice in foods is theirs, no one else.

That's not entirely true, Steph. The reason bad-for-us food looks good, smells good and tastes good is because it is designed to appeal, plus it's convenient and we often don't know just how bad things really are for us. Remember when caesar salads were the rage? Turns out caesar salads had as many calories as your typical burger. And speaking of caesars, who ever thought that Clamato juice could be bad for you - turns out it's (over)loaded with sodium.

Jamie Oliver gets it and that's why he's gone after the UK school system for the crap they serve kids in school cafeterias. Others get it too. If you make something appealing, convenient and combine that with poor education or disclosure, people will often make bad choices. It doesn't mean they're stupid and the fault isn't solely personal (although individuals do need to take responsibility). We also need to hold food manufacturers and policymakers to account and do a better job educating ourselves on the dangers.

Eating healthy can be expensivem if you work low paying jobs, rely on food banks finding healthy nutritous food can be difficult. This is a comment to the person saying its fat peoples fault their fat. Thats insulting. It is much more difficult than that. As someone that lost weight its hurtful to hear that. Factors that helped me was access to quality food and access and time to exercise, not all people have this. Mcdonalds is like 5 bucks, something organic at wholefoods... enough said! End rant scene. Side note, this looks fine and tasty just have it once or share the calories :D

I dunno about that. I think we know enough about food and how "bad" some of them are. Firstly, if your road to battle obesity is through diet without exercise or activity, your doomed to fail.

Who cares how bad it is for you. It's fair food - try it, enjoy it, and move on. It's a once a year thing.

youre a pussy

You can already get a Doughnut burger at "The Counter" in the Thompson Hotel....this is old news.

What a hilarious observation! Fat jokes about Rob Ford are so now and current. There's such untapped potential there. Maybe you also have something droll to add about how much poorer airplane food is than normal food?

Never mind disgusting taste, at a time when millions of people are facing starvation on the other side of the globe, to invent/wolf down a 1500 calorie "burger" is obscene and truly wrong.

I personally would rather eat those donuts than the burger meat

One step up from last year's coronary inducing delicacy at the CNE: deep-fried butter.

They have this "burger" in Atlanta. It's called the Luther Vandross Burger.
However it's not one Krispy Kreme. It's a 6oz patty sandwiched between two of those sweet bad boys.

Mmmm sooo good people don't even know.
Say what you will but it's still so good I have dreams about it.

@Alex: It's each's own choice.

As for the egg on the burger. I moved here from Kansas City 2 years ago and there is this place called Blancs Burgers and Bottles, my wife and I were introduced to this Bison Burger w/Fried Egg on top. All I can say is that I have started to see this all over and Blancs was the first place I saw/had this. That was 5yrs ago. I crave this combo but no one does it better than Blancs.
Especially with the side truffle fries.
